Note: This was written when we firmly believed it was still the 17th of October. We appear to have missed a day. It is October 18, and despite the way this reads below, we did not in fact write two blog posts in two days ... unless we did? hmm. you're seeing our uncut confusion in this beginning note ... where did the 17th go? Hello everyone, Today may actually be the first time, in the history of our blog, where we're actually going to manage to post two posts in 2 days, and it feels wonderful. We hope everyone who reads is doing well.

What have we been up to today?

As you may have seen on Mastodon, today is a bit of a bad vertigo day. We've been a bit dizzy, but we still managed to place a grocery order. However, we did that with EBT, or foodstamps as some people call it. Which brings us to our next point. Due to middle of the month bills and insufficient funds fees, our account is negative $100 give or take like $5. If anyone can help with that, it would be appreciated. Assuming we have the motivation and consistency to continue, you will be seeing a lot more from us. And that leads us, admittedly rather clumsily, into the next segment of the post.

Plans for the Future

We plan to do more tangents, as seen in yesterday's post. We also plan to do a humongous promo post, which will have all the house's links on it. That will have things like the Gaptangle's payment links, Z's mixes, or those Z consents to have posted anyway. Our links, Gaptangle's Twitch, all our social profiles, all our linktrees, and probably, if people feel like it, our spotify profiles because this household is a musical household. There are other bigger long term goals, but we have to get the short term stuff out of the way first.

Onto the Tangents

Some people may wonder why we don't use our mastodon as often as we used to. There's not really a cut and dry reason ... it's more that we have so very many thoughts. Most servers have a 500 character limit on posts, and I'm glad they do, otherwise you'd have like 4 page blocks of text as one post and that would not be fun for anyone to read, especially screen reader users. Which brings us to our next reason. With this blog, we can use markdown. We can, as you can see, organize the things in this post by headings. That's how the entire site is organized. We care about accessibility for those who have trouble reading. So we try to break things up into shorter paragraphs or at the very least put them under headings so someone using a screen reader on their computer can look at it, and someone using it on their iPad or iPhone or other touch screen device can also look at it. So it's not a cut and dry reason. For conversations with people, we will always use mastodon, or even telegram from time to time. And sometimes, if people are ok with it, we will use their feedback in our next posts, both on the blog and on our mastodon profile. So any of you reading this, know you can always toss us a mention on Mastodon, we'll respond to you. That account is request to follow due to some ... business we don't really have the spoons to go into right now, but you should still be able to message us and we'll make sure to change the visibility on the posts we send to you so you can read them. It's a relatively short post today, but we may be back with more Tangents. We have a lot of finger energy ... which sounds wrong but I promise only means we have restless fingers that wish to type a whole shit ton.
